"Used this to cut through some ~1 inch Iroko (hardwood that is known for being tough to work) plank. Produced a very clean cut with no burning or splintering, and generally very little effort.I put a 4 for reliability based only on the brand; I've only used it once so far. I marked 3 for value because had I not needed it the same day, I could have got it cheaper elsewhere."

"these blades are exceptional and they outlast other blades that i have tried for my battery circ saw and although slightly more expensive than other makes they suit the makita battery saw perfectly and i wont use any other blades from now on."
